Install via Google Tag Manager

Sign in with the Google account that owns your GTM container and ClickFortify publishes the tracking tag for you.

If your site already uses Google Tag Manager, ClickFortify can create and publish the tracking tag inside your GTM container for you. No editing your site's HTML.

Authorize Google Tag Manager

On step 5 of the wizard, click the Google Tag Manager tab.
Click New authorization next to the Authorization dropdown. A Google sign-in popup opens.
Sign in with the Google account that has admin access on your GTM container.
Approve the requested permissions (manage containers, publish versions).
The popup closes and your authorization appears in the dropdown.
The Google Tag Manager tab selected on step 5 with the Authorization dropdown and New authorization button

Pick your account, container, and workspace

After authorization, three dropdowns appear in sequence. Each one populates after you pick the one above it.

GTM Account — pick the account that holds your container.
Container — pick the container that's running on your site.
Workspace — usually Default Workspace. Pick a different workspace only if you maintain a parallel one for testing changes.

If you don't see your container, it means the Google account you signed in with doesn't have access to it. Sign out, sign back in with a Google account that has admin or edit access on the container, and try again.

Publish the tag

Click Add tracking code.
ClickFortify creates the tag in your workspace and publishes a new version of your container. This takes a few seconds.
A green confirmation appears: Tracking code installed.

Confirm it's working

Open your site in another browser tab and refresh a page. Within ~3 seconds the wizard's status banner at the bottom of step 5 turns green and reads Tracking successfully connected.

If it stays on Waiting for events…, GTM may need a moment to roll the new version out to your site, or the container snippet itself may not be installed on the site yet. See Auto-detection and troubleshooting.
